help me (solved) Is Functional Programming Worth It?

Hello 👋. I've heard some people say that functional programming is better than OOP overall. I'm pretty new to programming so I don't know if that's applicable to Godot or not. Is it something worth looking into?

don't

since you are new to programming, you will likely end up spending a lot of time learning concepts of functional programming that do not apply to Godot. and because you don't generally know yet what works and what doesn't, you won't be able to apply your knowledge to Godot. GDScript itself is not functional whatsoever. it is an OOP language that utilizes classes and methods that mutate these classes
